    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A network may generate a pool of distinct base sequences for use with uplink messages from a user equipment (UE) to a base station, where each base sequence in the pool of distinct base sequences may have a peak to average power ratio below a threshold. A base station may assign the pool of distinct base sequences into groups of base sequences based on a group size and a hopping pattern reuse factor. The base station may assign the groups of base sequences to cells and signal the group size and a hopping pattern index to UEs in the cells. A UE in a cell may identify the group of base sequences assigned to the cell based on the signaled parameters and select a base sequence for use in transmitting an uplink message to the base station.

    Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure relate to methods and apparatus of time-domain multiplexing (TDM) for reference signals (RS) and data using a modified cyclic prefix. A reference signal (RS) and data are multiplexed either in a single symbol or in two time consecutive symbols that respectively including the RS and data. The cyclic prefix (CP) is added to the single symbol using a portion of the RS or to a first symbol of the two time consecutive symbols using a portion of the RS. The CP may be copied from the RS or the end of the symbol, but not the data, in a manner that affords a virtual Time Division Multiplexing (TDM) of the RS and data before discrete Fourier transform (DFT) spreading is performed in a transceiver to provide lower peak to average power ratios and no Inter-symbol interference.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. The described techniques provide for a user equipment (UE) to adjust a random access message that is transmitted to a base station in an asynchronous uplink transmission. The UE may use a constrained mapping of time and frequency resources for the random access message or transmit all portions of the message in a continuous transmission. The UE may also adjust the timing of the portions of the message. The base station may use a portion of the message, such as a preamble, to perform channel estimation for another portion of the message, such as a payload, to improve decoding of the transmitted message. Additionally, the UE may configure a waveform of the message to improve the continuous transmission of the message, for example by reducing interference between portions of the message.

    Abstract: Fallback procedures for user equipments (UEs) are described that provide efficient fallback to a four-step random access procedure from a two-step random access procedure. For example, after transmitting a first message of a two-step random access procedure, a UE may start a fallback timer or counter and monitor for a second message of the two-step random access procedure for the duration of the fallback timer or counter. At the expiration of the fallback timer or counter, the UE may fall back to a four-step random access procedure. In some cases, the UE may transmit multiple repetitions of the first message and monitor for responses after transmitting the repetitions or after each repetition. Additionally or alternatively, the base station may transmit an explicit signal to the UE that may signal to the UE to perform a fallback procedure at a beginning or middle of a random access procedure.

    Abstract: Certain aspects of the present disclosure relate to methods and apparatus for short uplink burst designs. In some cases, one sequence, from a plurality of sequences, may be transmitted in multiple tones of at least one short burst symbol conveying at least one bit of information. The plurality of sequences may have the same values at a first set of common tone locations for demodulation reference signals (DMRS) and groups of sequences from the plurality of sequences may be identified, each sequence in a group having a second set of common tone locations for DMRS.

    Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure relate to implied and explicit mapping of uplink (UL) resources for acknowledgment communications from a user equipment (UE). In some examples disclosed herein, implied mapping may include indexing of information elements in a downlink (DL) communication. The explicit mapping may include information elements in the DL communication configured to explicitly provide a location of an UL resource. Other aspects, embodiments, and features are also claimed and described.
